Smudgefest Day 5!

Hurray!  I got a project made early in the day!  For Smudgefest Day 5 the challenge is…

“FLOWING FRIDAY

Create a project using a flowing medium. Some examples could be watercolor, liquid ink, liquid glues, thinned out acrylics, etc.... use your imagination and let the juices flow!”

Now, that’s my kind of challenge!

I used a 4”x5” canvas for my project.  I used soft body, and liquid acrylics to paint the base, then I used watered down acrylics for the dripping.  I used a rubber stamp from Smeared Ink.(It’s no longer available in rubber, but you can still purchase the digi set)  I also added a small chipboard frame and some Tim Holtz stickers.

Thanks for looking!  If I get a project up tomorrow it will be late in the day…I’ll be at Stampaway tomorrow!

S&S Junk Funk Challenge

Hello.  I’m back again with another last minute project for this month.  This one is for the May Junk Funk Challenge at Smeared and Smudged.  This month’s challenge item is index cards.

I used mini index cards and some scrap cardboard to make this mini art journal.

All of the journaling is lyrics from My Chemical Romance.  I’m going to miss those guys.

All stamps from Smeared Ink.

And for size comparison…

I had a blast making this!  Thanks for looking!

I love Poe.  I’ve loved Poe for as long as I can remember.  My mother read/recited the lines of The Raven and Annabel Lee to me when I was a kid…and I instantly fell in love with his words.  So I’m pleased to be a part of this blog hop that honors Poe’s poems along with other members of Smeared and Smudged.

Since Annabel Lee was one of the first poems of Poe’s that I read I decided to use a quote from this poem on my project.  I used little letter stamps from The Paper Studio to stamp the words with ink.  All the rest is acrylic paint.  It’s a 6x8 canvas panel.

I’m no expert painter, so some of the proportions are a bit off, but it was still fun to paint someone that I love.

Thanks for looking!  Your next stop on the hop is the fabulous Ike!

Happy Hopping!

SmudgeFest Day 3

Woot!  I’m back with a project for day 3!  Today’s challenge is Wordy Wednesday, to only use words(no images) for your project.

I actually had a lot of fun with this one.  I used word stamps from the Li’l Grumpies set from Smeared Ink to make this canvas.(along with some acrylic paint)

I’m calling this one “A Cry for Affection”, it’s like a little conversation going back and forth.  Just imagine a little sweet sad face at the end, hee hee.

(so you can see how little it is)

Thanks for looking!  Hoping I can play along again tomorrow!

Smeared and Smudged August Hop

Hello, and welcome to the monthly member blog hop from Smeared and Smudged!  Our theme this month is PAINT!  I love working with paint, I’ve been doing a lot with it lately.:) 

My project for today is a small one, though.

I decided to alter/recycle this little bottle.  I’ll give you extra points if you can guess what it’s from.;)

I did something new here.  I heat embossed for the first time.  I used one of the Distress powders, so the stamp kind of turned out looking like a sandy, piratey poison symbol.:)

Here’s the hop list….

Smudgefest Day 5

We’re getting near the end of this week of challenges!  For details on Smudgefest please visit the Smudgy Antics blog.

Here’s today’s challenge…

FLOWING FRIDAY

Create a project using a flowing medium. Some examples could be watercolor, liquid ink, liquid glues, thinned out acrylics, etc.... use your imagination and let the juices flow!

I decided to use low body acrylics on a canvas panel.

I used Glitter Mod Podge over the hearts to make them sparkle.  The hearts are from Smeared Ink.

It was fun watching the paint flow together. :)

It was hard to photograph this paint, though.  It’s very metallic.

Thanks for looking!  And thank you for your comments!
